WEEK 3: TRIAL

[dormheads]

week three: trial

victims:

Good thing yesterday was just a dream, huh?

Just kidding. Everyone will wake up to a text on their phone that has only a simple message:

Go to the gymnasium at 12 PM. Attendance is mandatory.

Everyone is free to go to the designated spot on their own, but once it hits 11:55, any stragglers will feel compelled to go and will join the others at the gym. As soon as every student is inside, the doors will lock behind them.

All of the bleachers are out, so students are free to sit wherever they like. At the very front of the gym is a gathering of a few items, one being a large desk where two of the Dorm Heads are present. When the clock hits noon, the scoreboard turns on, starting a countdown of nine hours.

From where she's seated, Sally speaks.

"You have nine hours again. It's... you'll be able to do it. Work hard."

Better get to it. That scoreboard is ticking.

---

Hello everyone and welcome to our fourth trial! the next nine hours, the characters are expected to discuss among themselves, ask questions, examine the bodies of the victims, look over the evidence found yesterday, and revisit locations as needed in order to find the culprit(s). There'll be a one hour break from 5-6 PM EST, where no mod tags will occur.

Before the trial is over, please remember to place your character's vote over on the voting page. Voting will close at 9 PM EST, and will serve as our activity check for the week, so please be sure you get your vote in before it ends unless you have contacted us previously.

If you have any questions at any time, please let us know by pinging us on Discord!

...Right.

[ he says it tersely, concerned but. they can follow up on it. ]

[godcards]

But why? If they wanted to die, they could have left me there. I'd be interested to know if someone - or something - brought me back.

[steelo]

That's the only outlier. [ me crying about tutorial week. ] But everything was weird that week. I mean - we had the bear at trial. Otherwise, everything matches up.

[ also to clarify for people at home i meant "two kills" as in "two people were killed in summer and spring" ]

[lifeless]

[...]

Can you see a memory that someone might have forgotten?

[kon, your brain science]

[repress]

...That would make sense for a solid gold blade. [ pls ] Do you know if he armed himself with anything else?

[headsplitter]

Uh... no, I don't think so...? Er, wait, no! I got my sorcerer disguise outfit for Halloween, that comes with white shoes...?!

[katzepaw]

[It's hard to get a read on whether he's angry or just listening.]

Ja. That is a pretty good life plan, isn't it? Do what makes you happy and leave every place better than you found it. It's not a bad way to live.

[refate]

[ a small wave of his hand ]

I'm just saying there are options, not that we jump the gun immediately to it.

[alitaba]

[ sup hope she's here to squeeze his hand tightly. don't look at how panicked she is. ]

[supercatty]

[this sexy body is wasted on Catra, I am so sorry Crow]

[she reaches out to touch that scar tissue though!!]

. . . big, stupid idiot. . .

[are there any other wounds on his back? a continuation of the braised bruises, blood, more nicks and cuts, etc??]

[steelo]

I know, man.

[ taichi beat me to the hand on shoulder but he gives him a little nudge. it was a winter last week, after all. ]

[sawboned]

If it's a TV Devil doin' all this, then maybe it wants drama and action or whatever, and sometimes ya gotta have extra people.

Dunno, figurin' out that kinda stuff's for people like her [he nods at beau]

[illuminance]

It's going to be okay, Hope.

[goalsides]

You were being a huge jerk, that's why.

[so THERE. but oh wait there are things happening so he just shakes his head and drops it.]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ he looks over sharply. he knows what denji's getting at, but... ]

Dude, we only caught the first murderer here because a dog barked at her. We didn't catch Rupert at all until he'd killed a second time. It's worth looking into, even if it hurts someone's feelings to be considered. Especially if...

[ ...no, he shakes his head. ]

[katzepaw]

You leave this alone.

[His tone is suddenly a little sharp.]

We will be getting to the bottom of what happened, regardless of whether asking questions hurts someone's feelings.

[repress]

...But that outlier is the only one where we knew who everyone involved was.

[duranduel]

Did you leave those behind in the dorm? And...I guess we should check if there are shoes your size with the costume emporium...someone needs to check that.

[because, you know. clown shoes]

[refate]

[ manwol has... so much more context for this than other people do. ]

Maybe. I've never used it on someone that has memory problems, but using mine on him would probably have better results than Beau's ki would. [ do you have to remember, to be caught in a lie? ]

... and I can at least try to target something specific.

[goalsides]

...[a shrug.] Same reason someone put Sagihara and Kon back last week. We're not sure. Maybe because you guys weren't actually involved.

[silentscout]

If your memories were erased, then you wouldn't know. But we can try to figure out what happened.

Where were you hurt again?

[disreguarded]

[a sigh.] There was a large pile of clothes in the auditorium, too. I don't know if that has anything to do with this, but.

[selfestheim]

[ he also glances at taichi's hand. oof. ]

I guess...yeah. I was mostly thinking how it's basically guaranteed for a reptile to die if it can't regulate its body temperature, but as far as we know, it really is just his head. [ beat ] I don't know. Teleportation? A strength-enhancing potion?

[headsplitter]

Yeah, they're just hanging in my closet... I was digging around in the emporium for baseball uniforms last week, but wasn't keeping an eye out for any big shoes.

[refate]

[ he's watching everything and frowning, but not moving. ]

Yeah, I'm not going anywhere.
